Dan St.Yves' "Roots Resonator": Jason MacDonald 2017

Plucking observed or personally experienced snippets from his
life in Cape Breton, and inserting those into his songs that
further illustrate life in that part of Canada, Jason MacDonald has
garnered a vast assortment of nominations and awards, even as far
as an honourable mention in 2010 from the 17th Annual Billboard
World Song Contest.

In this interview, we talk about his life in Eastern Canada, his
songwriting influences, along with a few warm stories about a song
he wrote for his wife, his meeting with iconic fellow
singer/songwriter Murray McLauchlan, and a note on perfecting the
jig strum.
